Check it out, now.

It is Wednesday morning, January 8th, 2025.

Just got finished doing the megapod.

We are pre-draw for the first tennis slam of the year, the Australian Open.

That is the difference between golf and tennis.

Tennis right out of the gates, we're like, let's do a slam after like three weeks in Brisbane

and Adelaide. Now they're going to Melbourne for the Australian Open.

Gil Alexander and as always on our tennis podcast. but he's very busy. So we can only do

the pre-draw part with Drew, Drew Dinsick, underscore, Whale underscore Capper, who joins us now,

co-host of not only the deep dive with Annie Molitor, but also NBC Sports Bet the Edge. Speaking of

Australians, with Jay Croucher. Drew, how you doing, man? Hope you're well in Long Beach, unscathed by the fires,

yes? Yeah, it's an apocalyptic scene here in the Southland, but I think they're starting to get

things under control up in L.A., and the smoke and the wind in Long Beach was never really a factor.

So we got very, very lucky, but there's a lot of people out there that are hurting and feel for them.

I got friends got evacuated in Brightwood, Santa Monica.

Yeah, it was not a great scene.

My wife's family, you know, her dad was, you know, grew up in the Palisades.

And so he's obviously pretty torn up about this.

And yeah, it's, it's, it's as nasty.

And, yeah, it's okay, though.

They, they, we are resilient.

We, we, we, we have some beautiful weather on the horizon.
